The tower height is 1063 feet. The formula for the distance traveled by a falling object is 16t^2. t=the time it takes to fall that distance. 16t^2=1063 t^2=66.4375 t=8.15 seconds. Unless that pea is falling through a field of intense microwave radiation I say it would still be frozen after 8.15 seconds. ;)

What kinda pea? A black eyed pea would mebbee flip flop around and have more air resistance than a round green or English pea, the English pea having arrived via the Chunnel of course. But even so it seems like a tedious way to thaw peas, climb up with the pea, drop it, climb down, find the pea, climb up with another pea, drop another pea, ad infinitum. " What was that?" " What was what, mon ami?" " I thought I thaw a pea fall!" " Ah, ha, ha. You make zee joke, no? We nefair haff zee pea fall in Paree zis time of year. And now, onward and upward to zee towair summit."
